Moving to the toddler bed


We decided it was time to move Chloe to the toddler bed. She needs to get used to sleeping in a bed so that when the new baby comes she doesn't feel like the crib is still hers. I asked for advice from my friends and family and decided we should do it. Her crib converts to a toddler bed, basically you just take off the front rail. So that's what we did. She helped us take apart the crib and seemed excited about it. Then when bedtime came, she wasn't so happy. She doesn't like to go to bed anyway, so it was a fight. She didn't want to stay in bed. We kept putting her back in bed and telling her it was time to go to sleep, after about an hour, she went to sleep. The next day when I laid her down for a nap, she fussed a little because she didn't want to nap, but she never got out of the bed. Since then, she stays in bed and sleeps great! She still doesn't like going to bed, but I'm pretty sure that won't go away until she's my age.

  1. I would say you got off pretty easy! Hopefully she doesn't test you on that in a few weeks which is pretty common, but you've been lucky so far so that I'm happy for you guys!

  2. Even crying, she is still adorable! It makes me miss her even more, but I love that I can read about her (and the rest of you) and see pictures! Keep them coming! I love you!
